Basil Chive Red Potato Mash
"This recipe is courtesy of Dave Lieberman from the Food Network. These potatoes are creamy and rich but the fresh herbs give them a really fresh taste. The color and texture that the potato skins give the mash is wonderful, and it also means less work because you get to skip the peeling!"

Maybe the color is not like it's supposed to be. But I don't like skinned potatoes. Maybe I should have tried. I used Mrs. Dash Seasoning instead of salt. I used a bit more of chives and less basil. It was very good and easy to do after work. Thanks Juenessa :) Made for Holiday tag. -
